Mastering the essentials: French Grammar Foundation & Structural Mastery

From 22 £ /h

Unlock the logic of French with a pragmatic, academic, and engaging approach.
As an Economics student, I view grammar as the "infrastructure" of language—once the foundation is solid, everything else flows with ease. This course is specifically designed for those who want to move beyond memorization and truly understand how the French language works.
What you will achieve in this course:
• The Building Blocks: Mastery of core sentence structures, essential verb conjugations, and the nuances of gender and number.
• The "Why" Behind the Rules: I don't just teach you what to say; I teach you why it’s said that way, making it easier to remember.
• Academic Excellence: We utilize "gold standard" references like Bled and Bescherelle to ensure your grammar is flawless for exams or professional dissertations.
• Pragmatic Application: We bridge the gap between textbook rules and real-life conversation through reading comprehension and writing exercises.

My Adaptive Method:
I believe every student is unique. Whether I am teaching my young nephews (3rd-grade level) or fellow university students, I adapt my pace and patience to your specific needs. Each first session begins with a diagnostic level test and a goal-setting discussion so I can design a roadmap that works specifically for you.
Whether you are a beginner looking for the basics or an intermediate learner needing to polish your writing, this course provides the structure, enthusiasm, and clarity you need to speak and write French with absolute confidence.

Extra information

Please bring a notebook and any specific school syllabi or exam topics you are currently working on. For our first session, be prepared for a short, friendly diagnostic test so we can pinpoint exactly where to start your journey!

About Me

French Tutor | Academic Success, Professional Fluency & Kid-Friendly Learning

Hello, I'm Alexandre!
By day, I’m an Economics student navigating the worlds of international trade, geopolitics, social welfare, and complex research. By passion, I am a French language enthusiast dedicated to helping others master the art of communication.
Whether you are a parent looking for a patient mentor for your child or a professional aiming for high-level fluency, I bring a mix of academic rigor and real-world pragmatism to every session.

Why My Approach Works
I don’t believe in "cookie-cutter" teaching. Every brain works differently, and my job is to find the specific "key" that unlocks your potential.
• Experience & Patience: My teaching journey started at home with my nephews and students as young as 3rd grade. I know how to adapt my energy to keep a child engaged while maintaining the patience to go at their specific pace.
• The Diagnostic First Step: We start every journey with a Welcome Session. This includes a friendly level assessment and a deep dive into your goals. I then design a bespoke roadmap tailored only for you.
• Academic "Gold Standards": For those focused on exams, I utilize the Bled and Bescherelle series, the absolute bibles of French grammar, to ensure my students achieve flawless technical mastery.

My standard assessment structure covers all bases:
• Text Analysis & Reading Comprehension
• Structured Writing Exercises
• Listening & Speaking Mastery

My Method: Pragmatic, Modern, and Fun
Let’s be honest: nobody learns a language by just staring at a whiteboard. My method is built on immersion and expression:
• Real-Life Content: We analyze news, podcasts, and shows to learn how French is actually spoken today.
• The "Mastery" Focus: I emphasize the ease of expressing complex ideas. Whether it's a dissertation or a business presentation, I help you find the right words.
• Interactive Tools: I provide curated tutorial links and digital resources to keep the momentum going between our lessons.

Tailored Tracks for Every Level
• The Foundation (Beginners & Kids): We focus on the "Building Blocks" : grammar, vocabulary, and verbs—using kid-friendly materials and plenty of encouragement.
• The Bridge (Intermediate): We move into "Applied French" : heavier grammar, reading comprehension, and structured writing to build stamina.
• The Mastery (Advanced & Professional): "The Expert Level". We focus on nuance, high-level presentations, and debating complex topics (like my favorite: social inequality!).

The "Alexandre" Guarantee
Language is about confidence. My goal isn’t just to help you pass a test; it’s to help you feel "at home" in the French language. Whether we meet online or one-on-one, you can expect a professional environment fueled by genuine enthusiasm and a touch of fun.

Mastering the French Essay: Structure, Logic, and Persuasion

26 £ /h

Learn to think, structure, and write like a scholar.
In the French academic system, the "Dissertation" is the ultimate test of intelligence. As an Economics student accustomed to synthesizing complex research papers, I help students move beyond simple writing to master the art of structured argumentation.
What your child will master:
• Text Analysis: Learning how to extract core ideas and "read between the lines" of complex documents.
• The Art of the Plan: Building the classic French "Plan Dialectique" (Thèse-Antithèse-Synthèse) with mathematical precision.
• Academic Style: Elevating vocabulary and using logical connectors to create a professional flow.
• Methodology: Using the Bled for orthography and specific academic frameworks to ensure top marks in school exams (DELF/DALF/Bac).

French in the Real World: News, Media, and Fluent Conversation

26 £ /h

Stop "studying" French and start living it.
Tired of dry textbooks? Language is a living tool meant for expression. This course is for students who want to bridge the gap between classroom grammar and the French spoken on the streets of Paris or Brussels.
The Program:
• Media Immersion: We use real news articles, podcasts (like InnerFrench), and shows to build cultural intuition.
• Confidence Building: Focused on "ease of expression", learning how to explain your ideas even when you lack a specific word.
• Modern Vocabulary: Learning the idioms and expressions used in contemporary society.
• Interactive Tools: I provide curated tutorial links to supplement our conversations.

Why it works:
My method is pragmatic. Whether you are a beginner (kid-friendly materials included!) or a medium-level learner, we use topics that passion you (Geopolitics, Culture, Sports) to make the language stick.

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Academic success, even at the university level, is determined by the ability to understand and write different types of texts. I offer courses that will allow you to overcome the difficulties you encounter in reading or writing by giving you the text-writing toolkit that school, unfortunately, doesn't provide. I myself had to build this toolkit over the years at university, and I will gladly share it with you so that you can succeed.

Here are the different points that my offer covers:

READING
Guided reading
Effective reading strategies
Text theory (structure, function, typology...)
General knowledge
Communication Theory

PRODUCTION
Reformulation
Summary
Reading log
Accurate
Text analysis
Characterization
Interpretation
Text explanation
Text commentary
Dissertation Essay
Comment
Argumentation

You can take a full course with regular sessions or one-off courses to do specific work such as writing a reading summary.

Lessons can be taken individually or in groups. The methods are flexible to adapt to each individual case.

What matters to me in particular:

motivate my student and give him a learning pace;
encourage their creativity;
to awaken his curiosity;
to forge a friendship with the texts

During this first lesson, you can get a solid idea of my teaching style. I look forward to meeting you.
